Newly renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom raised ground-floor apartment
Private balcony — rare outdoor space for a central London flat
High ceilings and large windows increase light and perceived space
Share of freehold with 995-year lease — long-term security
Electric room heaters only; no gas central heating (higher running costs)
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — potential energy efficiency upgrade needed
Council tax banding is expensive for the area
Local crime levels are above average — consider added security measures
Finished to a high standard, this newly refurbished two-bedroom, two-bathroom raised ground-floor apartment combines period character with contemporary fittings. High ceilings and large windows amplify light and space in the open-plan kitchen/reception, while a private balcony provides rare outdoor space for central London living.
The layout works well for first-time buyers, professionals or investors: two double bedrooms, two modern bathrooms and a sleek fitted kitchen keep upkeep low. The property sits on a long 995-year lease with a share of freehold, giving long-term security and easier management compared with short-lease flats.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than central gas, which may increase running costs. Walls are original solid brick and likely uninsulated, and council tax in the area is high. Local crime statistics are above average, so buyers should consider security measures.
Location is a strong selling point: Holland Park and Kensington High Street are within easy reach, and both Kensington Olympia and Shepherd’s Bush stations offer multiple transport options. The neighbourhood’s amenities, schools and green spaces make this a flexible home, commuter base or buy-to-let in a well-connected west London pocket.
